Pak Nai 23 Dec 2020 - Eurasian Oystercatcher

A special HK twitch for the Eurasian Oystercatcher which was covered up by badmilks fuckers, and the bird was seen right when we arrived. 

Weather is bad, no light, and none of the shorebirds was close enough for acceptable shot. 

Better to catch some oyster and watch Starwars at home.
